Easter Mini’s at my home studio went well! Like I said…I never did “mini” sessions before. I guess the day went pretty quick, people got shorter session for a cheaper price and I made a little money all in 1 day. Now if EVERYDAY could be full of sessions, that would be awesome!

Been looking at a studio space AGAIN in town. Stopped bothering the landlord about the other one. He wasn’t really motivated to lease it out so why should I even bother? If he wants to lose money- let him! Hoping I can get into this other studio soon, it’s on mainstreet, it’s expensive but hey, gotta TRY! I heard an inspirational quote from one of the people (Carla) on the show “The Chew” yesterday….she always kept saying “there is FAITH in the YES”. You might be scared to do something or put yourself out there, but there is always good that comes after the YES that you put out there. Even if my business doesn’t succeed and I have to close in 1 year….there is still always something GOOD and POSITIVE that would have come of that 1 year. I do really want to try. Still having trouble picking and choosing a sitter or day care for Drayden 😦 I don’t want to put him in somewhere but…if I’m going off on this venture, it is necessary…

Anywho, I’ll keep this post short somewhat. Here are a few shots from easter minis. Stay tuned for my next blog posting, I have something VERY VERY special in the works…I think you will all be stunned at what I post!

I have never done a Mini Session yet, so I really wanted to try and see how it goes. Gives people a chance to get in and out quick at a low cost and gives me something to shoot!!

For the photo ad I post on facebook, I wanted my little guy to be the model, and I finally got him to smile! Please don’t mind his shoes, they are ugly I know! The cute tan dress shoes I wanted him to wear- were too small!! He grows too fast!

Easter Minis filled up a lot last night, and if I have over 2 more people who want to sign up I might have to think about reserving another date for the next weekend! Exciting as I didn’t know if it would work or not.

Well…tomorrow could make or break me. I have been inspired a lot lately and also discouraged. Tomorrow we are FINALLY meeting at a store front space with the owner and seeing what we have to do to get into the studio and lease it out! It is a VERY large space and I’m hoping to get a good deal for it, I’m so scared to not be able to afford it….what if I don’t get clients, what more equipment do I need to buy in order to run a bigger studio and keep the quality, how much will the signs costs…ahhhhh. If all goes as planned in my little mind….I would love to be able to do the Easter Minis in the new studio, who knows. We will see!

So Chris and I are dropping Drayden off at my Moms so we are toddler free to go talk business 🙂 Drayden is staying the night, so Chris and I have the evening to ourselves! Wish us luck!

I have been inspired to start a blog…I guess of my life and of my photography experiences. If this is dumb or doesn’t work…thank Jasmine Star….she is the push behind all that I do as I look up to her … Continue reading →

Alright…I know I had this crazy thought. Why isn’t there any Boudoir Photographers in my area? WAIT….Why don’t I TRY it!! It’s a growing trend…and the more I read about it, the more appealing I felt it was. Why not … Continue reading →
